Tackle Severe Bone Loss
Bone loss in the upper jaw can become too extensive to replace missing teeth with the conventional dental implant treatment. However, our oral surgeons provide an amazing solution with zygomatic dental implants. This procedure eliminates the need for bone grafting, making a full arch of new teeth possible. If you have been told, you are not a candidate for dental implants, consult our experts for this revolutionary new solution.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons have extensive knowledge and the expertise to handle complex dental cases. Our oral surgeons are one of a few in the country who routinely place zygomatic dental implants in Phoenix, AZ as part of our Full Mouth treatments. By offering this specialized solution, we give patients, who previously were told they didn’t qualify for dental implants, a new smile and life!
Understanding Zygomatic Dental Implants
Unlike conventional dental implants, which are secured in the jawbone, zygomatic dental implants are surgically placed in the zygomatic (cheek) bones. Supported by a strong, stable facial bone, these dental implants do not require alterations of the jawbone, such as bone grafting, to support a bridge of fixed teeth. Zygomatic implants are one of the most complex surgeries in implant dentistry and only few oral surgeons are trained in this procedure. Yet, our oral surgeons place zygomatic dental implants in Phoenix, AZ. on a routine basis and have years of experience and clinical results to back their treatments. By providing zygomatic implants, our oral surgeons can offer you the following benefits:
- Fewer surgeries required
- A secure, life-like bridge of teeth
- Reliable, long-term function
- Immediate teeth, in most cases
What Can I Expect from the procedure?
Zygomatic dental implants may sound more invasive than conventional treatments, but they can be placed in one surgical procedure without any additional bone grafting while under general anesthesia. Our oral surgeons will use 3D cone beam CT scans to digitally plan your treatment before you arrive. During your procedure, your implants will be placed in strategic positions in the zygomatic bone to assure maximum stability. This procedure may also involve placing conventional dental implants where the jawbone is the densest. Since bone grafting isn’t necessary for this treatment, we can often complete your treatment process faster and provide you with a functional, beautiful new smile quicker than the conventional dental implant surgery. With zygomatic dental implants from our oral surgeons at Smile Now, you can experience a better quality of life permanently!
